Double centralizing theorems for the alternating groups

Abstract: Let

V^{o t i m e s n}

be the

n

-fold tensor product of a vector space

V .

Following I. Schur we consider the action of the symmetric group

S_{n}

on

V^{o t i m e s n}

by permuting coordinates. In the `super' (

B b b Z_{2}

graded) case

V = V_{0} o p l u s V_{1},

a

p m

sign is added [BR]. These actions give rise to the corresponding Schur algebras S

(S_{n}, V) .

Here S

(S_{n}, V)

is compared with S

(A_{n}, V),

the Schur algebra corresponding to the alternating subgroup

A_{n} s u b s e t S_{n} .

While in the `classical' (signless) case these two Schur algebras are the same for

n

large enough, it is proved that in the `super' case where

d i m V_{0} = d i m V_{1},

S

(A_{n}, V)

is isomorphic to the crossed-product algebra S

(A_{n}, V) c o n g

S

(S_{n}, V) i m e s B b b Z_{2} .

Review text

Let \(V\) be a finite-dimensional vector space over the field of complex numbers \(F=\mathbb{C}\) and let \(V^{\otimes n}\) denote the \(n\)-fold tensor product of \(V\). The symmetric group \(S_n\) acts on \(V^{\otimes n}\) and makes it into a left \(FS_n\)-module with corresponding Schur algebra \(\text{End}_{FS_n}(V^{\otimes n})\). If we consider the alternating group \(A_n\) as a subgroup of \(S_n\) we obtain the corresponding Schur algebra \(\text{End}_{FA_n}(V^{\otimes n})\). In the paper under review the author studies the above pairs of Schur algebras.
